Joe Jackson on Larry King: This was one of those interviews that gave me so many WTF moments I lost count. Some people just look extra shysty and Joe Jackson and Leonard Rowe (a concert promoter affiliated with M.J.) fit that bill to a Tee. I wouldn’t trust either one of them to hold a piece of paper for me. Why did the viewers e-mailing Larry during the show seem to know more than Joe did? He said “I don’t know” so many times; I was like, really Joe? Of all the people Michael Jackson would have wanted talking about him on Larry King, just how far away from that list would Joe Jackson and Leonard Rowe have been? Just a snippet of the interview below:
When Joe denied beating the kids, I was done. Until he then proceeded to somehow relate the conversation to slavery. How he got there, I don’t know. Still shaking my head over that foolery. And then for his favorite M.J. song: “I like that Earth song. About the animals and all that stuff.” Woww. No words.
Harvard Professor, Henry Louis Gates Jr., was arrested for breaking into his own home. Sadly, this story doesn’t even surprise me. What does make me mad is those people who will make excuses for the police after they arrested Gates even after he showed ID and proved he lived in his home.
Lil Kim singing with Cyndi Lauper at the Nelson Mandela Day live concert event over the weekend. So many questions… Who approved this? Who thinks of Lil’ Kim when they think of Nelson Mandela? Who thought Lil’ Kim should be singing? I’m so confused. So wrong on soo many levels.
Kathy Griffin Getting Kicked Out of the Apollo. I love watching Kathy Griffin’s “My Life on the D List,” but why she thought it was OK to use inappropriate language during amateur nightat the Apollo with kids in the audience, I don’t know. Watching the audience’s reaction during her time on stage and then watching her literally get played off and kicked out of the building was soo awkward. Leave it to Kathy to get kicked out of the Apollo. SMH.
Why Am I Watching This? So I watched a bit of Terrell Owens’ new show and Wendy Williams talk show this week. Both of them were a bit much for me. Wendy is always too much for me and between her too tight clothes, wigs and general drag queenishness, I just can’t do her. Terrell Owens’ show was also a bit much. Between him being shirtless all the time for no reason, to his two lady friends/publicists, I had to ask, “Why am I watching this?” I’ll probably end up watching it later in the season though whenever nothing else is on and VH1 shows some type of marathon.
*I’m mad i missed the Kathy thing because I really wanted to see how she did at the Apollo. I actually was rooting for her.
*I saw the lil kim performance and wondered who all the drug addicts were who allowed that foolishness to happen. She sounded horrible. And when you said it was for Nelson, I am just…..FUCK!
*The Gates thing reminds me of that Dave Chapelle stand up segment where the police killed Dave for staying in a house too nice for the police to believe was Dave’s. “It’s an open-and-shut case, Johnson. Apparently, this nigger broke into this house and hung up pictures of his family all over the place. Sprinkle some crack over him and let’s go.”
*As for Joe and that other guy… Eb, when I die, and if i’m famous, don’t let shysty ass people get on CNN talkin about me when you know they are liars and or don’t know me well
@B.rizzle: *The Kathy show at the Apollo started off well, but then everything turned…
*That Lil Kim performance had to be one of the most random things I’ve seen/heard about all year.
*I really could use some new Dave Chappelle or Aaron McGruder comedy in my life right now.
As the week went on, the Gates story took so many turns. Now they’re talking about Gates, Pres Obama and the officer meeting up for a beer…
*We wouldn’t let anyone do you like that. You know if Michael was alive watching that mess, he would have been, this is some bull…who let them on TV talking about me? That interview may have been one of the most entertaining interviews on Larry King all year though..
